about

Oni Kudaki: an arm lock in the Japanese martial art of ninjutsu. It roughly translates as "demon crusher", which seemed an appropriate title for a collection created at home under lockdown.

These recordings contain gratuitous use of fuzz, wah and panning and are best consumed using proper headphones or stereo speakers.

"The most serene music we’ve heard in a long time. Half A Crayon’s Gazik Stan seems to have spent lockdown immersed in psychedelic meditation. The result is a rich and atmospheric soundscape awash with wah-wah and stereo panning. Schism Smash introduces an eastern flavour with synth drones and flowing upbeat percussion, while Mycoremediation samples Paul Stamets’s extraordinary psilocybin revelations. If disciplined bliss is the guiding principle here then maybe it’s best described as ‘ninja psych’" — Brighton Source, June 2020.

Gazik Stan: guitar, bass, djembe drum, tambourine, keyboard, synth and samples. The words "master of none" spring to mind.
